<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thank you Taylor for bringing up the topic, and Riantee, for your enlightened perspective , you are such a breath of fresh air to me, always.&nbsp;
<div><br>
</div>

<div>
<div>I just would like to add, what I&nbsp; learned in Mastery , and from all of you,</div>

<div>that thoughts, and words literally create reality into existence! I learned the importance of putting the right pebbles into the pond, and dreaming accordingly&nbsp; into manifestation.&nbsp;</div>

<div>When I heard "black life matters" the first time , and every time, I felt deeply outraged. As if somebody would say to me a Hungarian,&nbsp; that "Hungarian lives matter"! Single me out on&nbsp; the&nbsp; basis of my genes, and condensingly approve , that&nbsp; I have a right to live!!!&nbsp; &nbsp;How dare you?!!!</div>

<div>"Black life matters"&nbsp; is a deeply racist slogan, so is "white supremacy."&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

<div>What they seem to be&nbsp; against for the innocent benevolent&nbsp; onlooker , on the surface,&nbsp; the very same&nbsp; things&nbsp; they are creating&nbsp; into existence: racism, anger, violence, guilt for sins, one never committed.&nbsp;</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>&nbsp; Repeating these&nbsp; slogans , over and&nbsp; over again, until collectively we solidify it into our shared&nbsp; reality.</div>

<div>I cannot&nbsp; utter these words, and sorry, I cannot&nbsp; listen to them either.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

<div>But if we have to make a distinction based on race, I&nbsp; &nbsp;am willing to say with full gusto:&nbsp; Black lives inspire, black lives uplift, black lives energize, black lives bless!&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div>These are my pebbles into the pond.</div>

<div>
      Dear Taylor.
      
<div class="yiv4054932130">I thought a lot about what you brought up at
        Mastery. Thank you for that.</div>

      
<div class="yiv4054932130">For years I have been uncovering all the small forms
        of racism hiding in the recesses of my psychy under different
        names, often not recognizable as such.&nbsp;</div>

      
<div class="yiv4054932130">You say: "<font class="yiv4054932130" color="#0432ff">I
          personally plan on spending the rest of my life unpacking all
          the layers of everything she so clearly addresses in this
          book.” </font>And it would probably take a life time to do
        that (quite a chase!), but for myself, especially after the
        lesson we read on Tuesday I have been reminded of &nbsp;a much easier
        way to do it.&nbsp;I just have to remember, every time I encounter
        another, when I learn about their lives, easy or burdened, that
        IT IS THE PERFECT LIFE FOR THEM and that they called it to
        themselves because it is designed to perfection ‘just for them.’
        When I truly and totally understand and trust this, TOTAL
        EQUALITY IS ESTABLISHED. I just have to remember when I feel
        sorry for the unfairness of some situations, or when I am in awe
        of another’s accomplishment, or when I compare myself to others,
        that MY LIFE IS PERFECT FOR ME. In this way we are all equals
        and there is no room for victimization.</div>

      
<div class="yiv4054932130">Much love and gratitude from me also for all of you
        who share their wisdom during Mastery.&nbsp;</div>
